LAFD Red Tagged Red Car Property
Photo: Diane Edwardson, August 16, 2009. LAFD red tagged the Red Car Property on August 6. Brush on the slopes has still not been cleared. (Click on photo to enlarge.)
The Corralitas Red Car Property was a private right-of-way through Silver Lake (Los Angeles) for the Pacific Electric interurban streetcar. The “Big Red Cars” ran until 1955 when the Glendale Line was decommissioned for freeway construction. For more than 40 years, a series of developers tried and failed to develop the Corralitas Red Car Property.
It's not a park, it just looks like one.
